PULLROD ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

\ Patented Dec. 1'2, i918.

, Application filed January 22, 1918. Serial No. 218,147.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES O. BEWAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Onley, in the county of Accomac and State of Virginia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Pull Rod'Attachments, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a pull rod attachment for pull rods or chainsfor igniting gas or other lights, as for example pull chains connectedwith electric switches. But I have designed it especially for use inconnection with a friction ignition device for which device forms theacetylene gas lights,

application filed subject matter of a separate 7 Mar. 13, 1918, SerialNo. 222,218.

This invention comprises as an attachment for'the pull rod or chain, aluminous handle formed of two sections of glass secured together andhaving exterior facets with a luminous compound carried between theglass sections, the light from which is radiated in all directions fromthe facets, thereby making the entire attachment luminous in the dark.

The invention consists in the following de scribed construction,definitely pointed out in the claims, and shown in the accompanyingdrawings in whic Figure l is a transverse section through my attachment,and v Fig. 2 is an inner face view of one of the sections of glass shownin Fig, 1. The term glass? is used broadly to cover any transparentmaterial, and the term luminous paint applies to any of the wellknownalso provided in one of the sections and this with the luminous paint.In the drawing I have shown both the grooves and the recess as beingformed in' section 8. A wire 11 is inserted in the grooves and projectsfrom the outer end of the groove 9 and terminates in an eye 12 to whicha rod orchain may be connected.

The sections are preferably formed with facets and the light raysradiating from the luminous compound are diffused through and magnifiedby said facets, so that it will be visible from any direction, and willappear to cover a greater surface than actually coated;

is coated as at l0 ranged in the recess, and'a pull rod attaching deviceinserted in said groove. In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

JAMES O. BEWAN.
